What's new in Socialtext 1.2

RSS 2.0. You can now syndicate the contents of a weblog to a news reader that supports RSS. Auto-discovery of feeds is supported. See RSS Tutorial for more information.

Recent Changes as a Weblog. In Weblog mode, you can view "recent changes" as a weblog, and subscribe to "recent changes" via RSS.

EventSpace. Ask Socialtext about how to set up an EventSpace workspace for your next public meeting or internet conference. EventSpace workspaces do not require passwords for login.

SSL. By request, workspaces can be configured to support SSL (secured) logins and page views.

Changes

To improve ease of use for new users, small changes to the top navigation bar now mark the "Workspace" menu and provide a link to the home page.

Known issues

  • The method to "delete a page" is less obvious than it should be. To delete a page, select all of its text, delete the text, and save.
  • The ability to delete a category is not yet implemented.
  • Adding a file attachment does not update the page date in "All Pages".
  • Page names with an ampersand (&) or underscore _, do not work properly. Avoid using these characters in page names.
  • You can't yet upload a file to serve as a workspace logo.
  • Not all RSS readers support password authentication for feed access.
  • Links to images in SSL-enabled workspaces are not supported in some browsers due to "mixed security model" browser errors. This can be fixed by relaxing security model settings in the browser.
  • No labels
